HK Restaurant

HK is an American restaurant located in the Hell's Kitchen area of Manhattan (at the corner of 39th street and 9th Ave). They offer a reasonably priced weekend brunch, with optional unlimited drinks for a set price ($13 when we visited).

I was quite impressed with both the decor of the restaurant and the quality of the food they served. The restaurant has a clean and modern interior, and their brunch food was quite tasty. It is also worth checking out their bathrooms, which have a unique modern decor.

For brunch, they offer some typical breakfast dishes with clever upscale modifications. Visitors can also order off their standard lunch menu.

Dress

Very casual

Cost

Breakfast items ranged from $6.95 (for a croissant) to $14 for eggs benedict.

Service

The restaurant was quite busy when we arrived, but we managed to get a table without having to wait. By the time we left, there were lots of people waiting for a table. Going earlier in the day for brunch (11a) will probably minimize the amount of time you have to wait for a table.

Items Ordered

Cappuccino

Cappuccino

This cappuccino was really quite good. It had a delicious coffee flavor.

Croissant

Croissant

This dish wasn't what I was expecting, but I was pleasantly surprised. The croissant was warm and light. There was a lot of spinach inside, so the sandwich had the strong flavor of spinach that went well with the egg. The egg was pretty plain, but made this a good breakfast choice.

Even better than the delicious croissant sandwich, was the potatoes. They were deliciously spiced and came with a few slices of sweet red pepper.

French Toast

French Toast

I couldn't believe the quantity of fruit that the french toast was served with. There were lots of blueberries and bananas, with a smaller number of strawberries and blackberries.

The french toast itself was also very good. The french toast slices were cut from a baguette, and were coated with cinnamon on the bottom. The french toast was served with syrup, but I found the french toast sweet enough on its own.
